Lovely spot near Sutton Hoo, which we visited. Helen is an experienced host, who welcomed us but let us get on with our holiday. Nearby if there was a problem. Cottage was warm and inviting. Kitchen well equipped. All very good and we would be happy to come again if we were in that area! Thank you. Barbara, John and Carolyn 3 oldies
Clean and comfy well stocked kitchen and eating places nearby. Though it was a bit of a walk three quarters of a mile about. The cottage was warm and welcoming so we will be back
The property was spacious and clean. The rooms were large and comfortable. The two bedrooms were warm and the kitchen was modern. The living room had two large sofa’s and a lovely round dining table. It was a nice touch to have wine and milk waiting for us when we arrived. The owner also introduced herself during our visit which was nice. The location was excellent, very quiet but also near to Sutton Hoo and the pleasant village of Melton. I highly recommend this property.

About the host
Hosted by Helen Shand
My name is Helen Shand and I and my husband Garrow bought Castle Farm in 1987. We are from suffolk farming stock and wanted our four children to have plenty of space to play in safety. Shearers cottage was at that time an old sheep shearing shed in our front garden and we felt it would make an ideal holiday cottage. That was 24 years ago and now Shearers Cottage has been extended and re-furbished to a very high standard. We are therefore on hand if our guests need anything.
Why they chose this property
We bought Castle Farm, a 50 acre farm, to have more space for Garrow's contracting business and for our children to have plenty of space for horses, cars, bikes and loads of fun! We love this part of Suffolk as there is so much to do, the varied countryside, with woods, beautiful coastline and wide open spaces to explore, has something for everyone.
What makes this property unique
Shearers Cottage has plenty of living space and beautiful surroundings while being close to lots of Suffolk's best amenities.
